Did your Docs get you a Christmas gift or recognize your work?

Hello all- Just curious...what did your docs do for your floor on the holidays? Did you do anything for your Docs on the holidays? (other than work your rear ends off :))

Do you feel like your Docs should recognize your work on the holidays? Or some other day?

Our Docs gave us Christmas cards (some did anyhow) Generic that said "Happy Holidays," to the floor.

Last year some got us fruit baskets, some cookies or some homemade fudge. I think we got a fruit basket or two this year.

We work so hard for them and if it werent for us they would only know what is going on with the patient for the 5 minutes they are with them in a day. I think that it would be nice to be recognized in some way at least once a year, but then again I dont do anything for them (other than give the best care to their patients that I can).

How do you feel?

Unless you are in private practice (in which case gratitude should come in the form of fair wages and benifits) why would you expect a gift from a co-worker?
